Odd. I have the Harley adjustable and it folds down.

 

Well, I fitted a Grasshopper riders backrest to my bike the other day. WOW.........I've never ridden a bike with one before and it is awesome! I actually stopped riding for a couple of years due to back issues. I think this backrest will solve all that! Giddy up!
The only issue I have is that the wife complains she is cramped sitting behind me and won't travel too far on there when the riders backrest is fitted...........Oh well lol

I just picked one of these up for 200 bux including pad, works great!

 

I bought a used 2015 Electra Glide Ultra Limited. The driver backrest was not in place. I will install it, but "how it is removed?", just in case need to.

 

If your backrest looks like the one in post #25, it could not be any easier.

The base (which remains hidden under your seat) has a row of three (3) vertical holes. You take the backrest, squeeze together the two (2) posts separated by the spring, insert the posts in a slot in your seat between the driver and passenger and into the base at your desired height and release the posts. Pull up on the backrest to assure that the nubs mated to the holes. For removal, just reverse.

 

Thanks for the reply’s. I think I’m gonna try the grasshopper a try. For 90$ if it doesn’t work out ,not a big deal. I wanted to have mean city cycles do their magic on my hammock seat along with getting a back rest,but they can’t do anything with the hammock,sucks, so I’ll give the grasshopper a try

 

Mine is not that onea

 

I have the Harley adjustable backrest on mine and wow what a difference it makes. The wife and I took a 600 mile round trip the last two days and I have learned I will never ride anywhere without it again. I don't know why it took me so long to add one. I'd highly recommend.

 

Mustang 79610 adjustable backrest for me. I have had one on the past few bikes and love it.
